Works great and easy to use...

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was wanting a way to watch videos that I could bring up on my desktop computer and view them on my TV in another room. There really wasn't a good way to run an HDMI cable from the computer to my TV, so I needed some sort of wireless option to send the signal. As I was using a desktop, I was not 100% certain it would work unless I installed a Wi-Fi device on my desktop. As I found out to my relief, I didn't need to install a Wi-Fi device. It must be connecting from the Comcast Wi-Fi device.

The instructions are pretty easy. They give you a pamphlet with like 3 simple 1-2-3 like instructions. It also gives you a website address you can enter that gives instructions.

Here's how simple it is...

1) Make sure you have Google Home installed on your phone
2) Plug in the device to an HDMI port on your TV
3) Plug the device into a nearby power source
4) Turn your TV to the HDMI port that the device is plugged into
5) Follow the instructions on your TV screen
6) I think there's a code you scan that comes up on the tv, then there's like a confirmation code you enter
7) On the Google Home app it lets you pick what subscriptions you want to include like Netflix, etc.
8) Go to the computer, click the little 3 dot button in the top right corner of the Google Chrome browser. Then click Cast. Once you click Cast it casts to your TV.

The picture was very clear and there was no skipping/flashing like if it is having trouble getting a signal.

I compared it to the wireless HDMI option and not only was the Chromecast Ultra cheaper but it was better rated. Not to mention, I think the Chromecast can connect with Google Nest Hub. So it's definitely worth the money.

The only thing I was surprised by was that when I casted the computer screen, the computer screen no longer shows the video. It is only shown on the TV. I thought it might show on both. I'm not sure if there is an option to show on both (I doubt it).

But overall.... GREAT PRODUCT!

Works great for casting my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset to my TV !!

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this specifically so I could cast my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset to my TV, so that family and friends could sort of follow what I'm doing in VR, and so that I can more easily guide people when they're trying out the VR for the first time. I just got this "Google Chromecast Ultra", and it works awesome for this. I was trying to use my Nvidia Shield Pro, which has Chromecast built in, but it worked horribly. There was no sound, the video was grainy and blotchy, and it kept disconnecting after just a few minutes of use. My new Google Chromecast Ultra, on the other hand, shows a smooth, sharp image, sends the audio to the TV too, and never loses its connection to the headset (so far). It wasn't cheap (69.00), but I'm glad I bought it. One addemdum: The set-up was confusing. It took a while to figure out how to set it up to use it, but once that's done, you're good to go.

The only external Chromecast that supports 4K HDR -- enough said

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the only external Chromecast that supports 4K HDR. If you have a 4K TV without a built-in Chromecast, don't buy any other Chromecast models.

Installation is beyond user-friendly and easy. The device works flawlessly.

It comes with a 3 A power adapter with a captive cord. The adapter also has an Ethernet port, but you don't need to use it, as it has built-in dual-band 11ac Wi-Fi. You cannot use any other kind of power source or adapter.

You need it to install the Google Home app in order to set up the device.

Note that some users reported that built-in Chromecast devices on their 4K TVs didn't work with some 4K streaming services such as AT&T Watch TV; however, an external Chromecast Ultra did. I have also been doing successful 4K streaming through AT&T Watch TV with the Chromecast Ultra.

Unclear as to why I needed to upgrade this

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024

Verified Purchase

I run a workout app through my old television Panasonic from probably 2012. I don’t really feel the need to get a new TV and it fits right where I want it. For years I’ve been using the generation one Chromecast without incident. Suddenly I get a message from the app saying I needed to upgrade, because it will not be any longer. Why? I don’t need my workouts to come in any clearer definition than they already do. Why do I have to spend $30 on this new one?

Here's something interesting...

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Here's what I liked. The Chromecast Ultra is easy peasy to hook up. If you download Google Home and watch a couple of YouTube videos about how to set it up it's pretty simple. I really liked that I didn't have to enter my (long) WiFi password and that the installation picked that up from the same password used for WiFi on my phone. Kudos Google! I absolutely love the video quality. 4K HDR is stunning on my LG television...I can't tell the difference between streaming from my phone or using the builtin apps in the TV. Amazing! And, no lag, stutter or other anomalies using the 5Ghz radio in my router.
Here's what I don't like: I strongly dislike not being able to turn off Ambient Mode. It constantly pulls images from online to display on my screen while the Chromecast Ultra is not "casting". It continues to do that when the TV is off. It forced me to put the unit on a switch so that I can turn it off to save bandwidth when I'm not using it even though I have it in low bandwidth mode. I also think the "Google Home" app is a bit confusing at first. But, I'll learn the in's and out's as I become more familiar with it.

Now...here's the interesting part. The instructions say to have your phone and the Chromecast on the same "network" . I took that to mean that the casting devices and the Chromecast Ultra both had to be on either the 5ghz or 2.4 ghz networks. But, that's not how it works. I have the CC Ultra on the 5ghz radio and my phones on the 2.4 ghz radio and my desktop computers are on ethernet. They all cast perfectly.

My wife and I are both bicycle race fans. Today, using the FUBO TV app to cast the Gran Piemonte race in Italy from my Android phone we enjoyed perfect video. Later I enjoyed listening to an Amazon playlist by Miles Davis. Then, I watched an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix which is 4K and HDR. It was amazing. I'm really going to like living with my new casting tool.

Excellent, no comparison to the cheaper ones on amazon, I tried them all. This one has excellent stable audio and smooth clear video. Connects properly and doesn't do anything annoying. Worth the extra cost. Also works properly on USB connection to TV so when I turn the TV off the chrome cast also powers down so it isn't a possible fire hazard.

Package arrived quickly and on-time, delivered to my door, and in perfect condition. It is a minimal package which is great and the setup was easy, (helps if you have done it before). You can add your Stan or Netflix or fav apps to make it easy to view anything. Love this version and highly recommend buying it.
